Friends of Metafile know we often tout the value of accounts payable (AP) automation technology in increasing efficiency and productivity within an organization. In a recent blog post on Paystream Advisors, we illustrated how those benefits can translate into tangible ROI, citing one of our customers' recent success story.

One of our longest-running customers - a major architectural glass and aluminum fabricator and distributor - was relying on a heavily paper-based AP department, in which case AP staff in each branch would receive, stamp and sign suppliers' invoices and handwrite general ledger coding instructions on each invoice.

It's a great read for any organization that is considering implementing the technology, but is struggling to tangibly justify the investment.
